You can still see that they have some nice color. You can realy see it in the gill plates.

Nice Umbees!

Nice. I'm about to go get some islantum fry from Ira, so thanks. Keep up the good work! Your collection is amazing!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate everybodys comments. I truly love this hobby. I hope to be apart of keeping the cichlid dream alive. There are still some species I have yet to add to my personal collection. But as of now and beyond that I will enjoy this hobby as well as spreading them around.

Good luck Ed, I hope you enjoy the lil ones

Good stuff. Have they shown any signs of breeding?

thank you for comments. The female shows interest but male doesn't seem to care much. But I'm sure it will all work out

Looking good Jason that female has an incredible appetite she easily trains her owners to hand feed her, I was doing the same thing. She has so much personality just like the last oscar I kept a few years ago.
